"I like you chocolate covered strawberry apple pie a la mode"

Hyrum has thrown up six times now since yesterday morning. Poor little thing. The problem is, it is my fault. I knew that Emma, Caroline and Lukeee had thrown up and I still took the Dude over to play thinking "oh, he'll be fine...I'll just keep his hands sanitized..." Well, obviously, that didn't happen. He's been pretty good about it. He's slightly less crazy then usual, but still smiley and fun. Last night Aaron and I went to Smiths and rented our first "Rug Doctor"--an adventure in vomit clean-up that will surely not be our last as parents.

Yesterday night Aaron was late coming home from work (I found out later that he was driving around trying to find a florist to surprise me with flowers!!!), so Hyrum and I decided to make homemade sherbet. "Refreshing lime sherbet" to be exact. He stood on a chair next to me while we rolled limes on the counter and then squeezed out the juice. Soooo cute! He's my little bud, such a good little guy. He woke up at 6:20 a.m. this morning so I spent the first few hours of the day bleary-eyed and dozy following him from room to room as he played.

Our pool is open!!! I don't know why but there is something different about having your own pool in your backyard. It is soooooo much fun. We went swimming after dinner the other day and it was about 6:00 p.m. and the sun was just starting to go down. There was not a cloud in the sky and it was beautiful. I could really get used to this. I'm thinking of making my Saturday morning workout doing laps in the pool instead of packing up and heading to the gym (the gym opens later on Saturdays). Seriously, I love my life.
